BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The invention generally relates to packaging, and more specifically topackaging with separate control pack.

In general, sealing is a common method for securing internal contents bypreventing exposure to external oxygen. This method is an effective wayto preserve consumables and/or perishables, such as food products ortobacco, or other internal products that lose flavor, scent or ripenesswhen exposed to oxygen.

A bag is a device specifically made to store internal contents.Typically, a bag includes a plastic exterior with an opening that can besealed by irreversible mechanisms, such as heat-sealing or sonic weldingor reversible mechanisms such as zip lock mechanisms and closure orclasp devices. When the user seals the bag, it blocks oxygen fromentering the bag which prevents spillage, freezer burn, evaporation ofvolatile components, release of foul odors and limits the growth ofaerobic bacteria or fungi while also reducing the potential for theft ofinternal contents. Retailers use a variety of bags to package theirproducts, display their products in retail settings and preserve theirproducts to extend the shelf-life of same so as to prevent waste byneeding to dispose of spoiled or expired products.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The following presents a simplified summary of the innovation in orderto provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the invention. Thissummary is not an extensive overview of the invention. It is intended toneither identify key or critical elements of the invention nor delineatethe scope of the invention. Its sole purpose is to present some conceptsof the invention in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detaileddescription that is presented later.

In general, in one aspect, the invention features a commercial packagingincluding two external walls fused together at one end and both sides ofthe external walls fused together to create an interior space, one ormore internal walls having a high gas permeability and watertransmission rate wherein the internal walls create a first internalpocket and a second internal pocket within the interior space of thepackaging, means in which to seal the packaging, and moisturecontrolling means to maintain a low-humidity environment in thepackaging.

In another aspect, the invention features a package including a firstlayer, the first layer adapted to receive a consumer good, a secondlayer, the second layer including a humidity control pack, and a thirdlayer laminated in-between the first layer and the second layer.

The invention may include one or more of the following advantages.

The instant invention solves this issue by creating a bag with a dualcompartment internal environment which is separated by a porous internalwall or divider. This bag will allow desiccants to be separated fromother internal contents.

The present invention involves a more streamlined manufacturing processbecause desiccants can be added to the bags in advance and thensuppliers can simply load their own contents and ship out the product.

The present invention has uses for simply separating out any internalcontents and can be equipped with child resistant functionality toprovide a secure internal environment.

Because the present invention has universal functionality, its dualcompartment feature can be utilized with nap sacks, purses, boxes andadditional products.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The subject innovation is now described with reference to the drawings,wherein like reference numerals are used to refer to like elementsthroughout. In the following description, for purposes of explanation,numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thoroughunderstanding of the present invention. It may be evident, however, thatthe present invention may be practiced without these specific details.In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in blockdiagram form in order to facilitate describing the present invention.

Reference throughout this specification to “bag” is used. One ordinarilyskilled in the art will recognize that embodiments of the inventionshould not be limited to these terms and that the terms are used as ageneral term for any item used for the packaging and/or storage ofinternal contents, including commercial packaging. As used herein, theterm “commercial packaging” refers to materials used to protect fragilegoods while being transported from the manufacturer to the consumer ofsuch fragile good, while the fragile goods are being stored for futuresales and while the fragile goods are displayed in a retail setting.

As used herein, the term “cover” refers the act of sealing off theopening of the bag so that the internal contents are concealed inside ofthe bag.

As used herein, the term “zipper” refers to the interlocking strandsthat are affixed to the bag which overlap to provide a closingmechanism.

As an overview, one embodiment the invention is disclosed for a bagwhich provides benefits at the manufacturing level because it allowsdesiccants to be preloaded into the bag before reaching themanufacturer. In addition, this product is beneficial for users,especially young children, because it seals off access to the desiccantso that children will not retrieve and swallow the desiccant whileconsuming the product contained in the claimed bag.

The preferred embodiment provides for the preloading of the desiccantduring the manufacturing of the commercial packaging or bag. Thecommercial packaging or bag arrives to the commercial entity needing topackage perishables in a controlled environment with diminished watervapor. This products design is also tailored to safety by creating aninaccessible pocket which houses the desiccant and therefore curtailsthe choking hazard associated with children swallowing the desiccantpacket. The uses of this bag can also be for storing and organizing avariety of consumables or perishables such as food products, includingflour, sugar, ground coffee and powdered milk, pharmaceuticals, tobacco,cannabis, herbs, farm products, and merchandise which would benefitvarious industries, including the cannabis industry, health careindustry, manufacturing industry, drug manufacturing industry, theretail industry and combinations thereof.

The present invention provides users with a bag that has a dualcompartment internal environment which is separated by a porous internalwall or divider. Current bags do not have this type of dual internalenvironment and therefore do not provide the option of separatinginternal contents. The bag of the present invention allows contents suchas a desiccant material to be separated from other internal contentssuch as food products or medications. Additional benefits that this baginclude child resistant capabilities and the ability to provide a morestreamlined manufacturing process due to the ability to purchaseprepared bags which already contain the desiccant pack. The universalfunctionality of this dual compartment can be utilized with nap sacks,purses, boxes and additional products, so it should be appreciated thatthe present invention is not limited to a traditional bag or type ofcommercial packaging.

Referring now to the drawings, FIG. 1 is a three-dimensional view of anexemplary bag including, generally, an upper region with the ability tobe sealed or unsealed 1 a (hereinafter referred to as the “mouth”); twomalleable strips including opposite side edges with cooperativestructures that can be coupled together to interlock 1 b (hereinafterreferred to as a “zipper”). This embodiment further includes twoexternal walls, a porous internal wall or divider 1 d and a heat seallocated below the zipper which adheres one of the external walls and oneof the inner porous walls together 1 c. The embodiment further includestwo sealed parallel edges extending vertically up the side of the bag 1e (hereinafter referred to as “corners”); and a bottom region includingan opening for loading the desiccant material if (hereinafter referredto as the “base”).

FIG. 2 is a three-dimensional inside view from an upper region of thebag including, generally, a mouth 2 a, two zippers 2 b, and a base 2 c.

FIG. 3 is a three-dimensional view of the bag including, generally, amouth 3 a, a zipper 3 b, and a heat sealed located below the zipperwhich adheres the transparent and porous walks together 3 c.

FIG. 4 is a three-dimensional view of the bag including, generally, abase 4, two external walls 4 a and 4 c, and a porous wall 4 b.

Generally, the preferred embodiment is a bag comprised of two externalwalls 4 a and 4 c and one internal wall (also referred to herein as “thedivider”) 4 b fused at the end with an irreversible seal 1 e. Theinternal wall or divider separates the left and right sides of the bagto create a first internal pocket and a second internal pocket withinthe bag. The internal wall or divider may be manufactured from durable,porous material or may include punctures or holes to provide for easydiffusion of air and moisture between the two internal pockets 4 b. Itshould be appreciated that the internal wall or divider may have anynumber of punctures and that the punctures do not have to conform to aparticular size or shape. The bag also includes a zipper located at thetop (or the mouth) of the bag 1 a, 2 a and 3 a. The zipper 3 b and 1 bjoins one of the external walls to the internal wall or divider 2 b anda heat seal connects the second external wall to the internal wall ordivider. This structure allows users to utilize the zipper to access oneof the internal pockets. This embodiment of the instant invention wasintentionally designed so that during the manufacturing process, a heatseal is used to completely seal off the second internal pocket so as toprevent users of the claimed bag from unintentionally opening the secondinternal pocket. The second internal pocket can be loaded with adesiccant or similar moisture controlling product and permanently closedpreventing access to the contents of the closed off pocket by aconsumer. Once the desiccant is placed in the second inaccessiblepocket, the base 1 f, 2 c and 4 of the bag is irreversibly sealed toform a closed base. The final product includes an inaccessible pocketcontaining a desiccant and an accessible pocket containing perishableproducts that remain moisture free after packaging for a period longerthan traditional packages thus prolonging the “freshness” of theconsumable or perishable contained therein. It should be appreciatedthat different types of desiccants may be used in the claimed invention.In another embodiment, odor absorbing packets may be included in thepocket containing the desiccant to maintain an odorless internalenvironment in the bag.

Overall, this product provides benefits at the manufacturing levelbecause it provides suppliers with a bag preloaded with a humiditycontrol device such as a desiccant. In addition, this product isbeneficial for users, especially users with young children, because itprevents a choking hazard by sealing off access to the desiccantsituated in the second internal pocket, so that children cannot retrieveand swallow the desiccant while consuming food products stored in thefirst internal pocket. Any type of humidity control device may besituated in the second internal pocket, however, preferred humidityabsorbing materials that may be used may be selected from a groupconsisting of, but not limited to, calcium oxide (CaO), silica gel(SiO₂), glycerin, ethanol, methanol, concentrated sulfuric acid,activated charcoal, activated alumina, calcium sulfate (CaSO₄), calciumchloride (CaCl₂)), molecular sieves, salt, rice, montmorillonite clay((Na,Ca)0.33(Al,Mg)₂(Si₄O₁₀)(OH)₂.nH₂O), sodium aluminosilicate(14SiO₂₂.Al₂O₃.Na₂O.3H₂O,(Na₂Al₂S₁₄O₃₂.3H₂O)), concentrated sodiumhydroxide (NaOH) and combinations thereof. The humidity control deviceused may be pre-packaged plastic and/or paper pouches containing adesiccant such as those sold under the trade name Bóvida® (Boveda, Inc.,Minnetonka, Minn.). It should be appreciated that the external andinternal walls can be mixed with

The commercial packaging or bag can be used to secure, store, organizeand preserve a variety of contents selected from a group consisting of,but not limited to, food products, tobacco, herbs, cannabis, farmproducts, pharmaceuticals, beauty products and combinations thereof. Theuse of this packaging or bag can be applied to various industries,including but not limited to the marijuana industry, health care andcosmetic industry, manufacturing industry, pharmaceutical industry, theretail industry and others not specifically listed herein. The instantinvention may also be used to keep cosmetic powders, copy machine tonerand gunpowder free from moisture.

In the preferred embodiment, the bag or packaging includes a plasticmaterial to create a plastic bag, sack, pouch or baggie (collectivelyreferred to as the or a “bag”) that retailers can use to packageproducts that are spoiled or become “less fresh” when exposed tomoisture for extended periods of time. It should be appreciated that inother embodiments, the claimed technology may be adapted for use withnap sacks, purses, duffle bags, tote bags, satchel bags, pouches,clutches, wristlets, vanity cases and/or side bags. In these variousbags, the benefit of the desiccant may be less preferable, but thedouble pocket structure may be used more broadly to separate theinternal contents.

The bag may be manufactured using various techniques selected from agroup consisting of, but not limited to, a process of one-shot molding,two-shot molding, or multi-material injection molding and combinationsthereof. The process used to make the bag is dependent on the type ofmaterials used for each component of the bag. If all materials differ intype then a one shot molding may be less desirable.

In the preferred embodiment, there is no means in which to carry thebag. It should be appreciated that, in other embodiments, a handle,strap, or other means in which to carry the bag may be attached. Thisalternative may be preferred where the items are heavy or awkward inshape.

The External Walls

In the preferred embodiment, the external walls are manufactured from animpermeable material, such as but not limited to, polyethyleneterephthalate, polylactide and/or combinations thereof. In anotherembodiment, the external walls are manufactured from differentmaterials. For instance, the external wall creating the first internalpocket where a retail product is situated may be made from a transparentmaterial allowing the purchaser to see the actual product containedtherein, whereas the external wall including the second internal pocketcontaining the desiccant may be opaque so as not to diminish the overallappearance of the product in the bag when it is displayed in a retailsetting. In yet another embodiment, the external walls may be comprisedof more than one material. In one embodiment, the external wall formingthe interior space in which the retail product is positioned, may beformed with a “window” of translucent material surrounded by opaquematerial. In other embodiments, the external walls are manufactured froma material that can be printed with text or illustrations.

In other embodiments, the external walls are manufactured from amalleable material selected form the group consisting of bioplastics,flame-retardant plastic, polymers, acrylic, butyl, leather, cotton,vinyl, polyurethane, elastomers, silicone, polypropylene andcombinations thereof. It should be appreciated that the bag can be madewith less malleable materials selected from a group consisting of, butnot limited to glass, lenses, glass fiber, fiberglass, clay, metal,carbon-fiber reinforced polymer, layered double hydroxides, carbonnanotubes, polyhedral silsesquioxanes and combinations thereof

The external walls can be manufactured through 3D printing, injectionmolding, thermoforming, compression molding, rotational molding, vacuumcasting, resin casting, and combinations thereof. The technique used tomake the external walls may vary depending on the type of material usedto make the external walls as well as the desired quality and cost ofthe final product.

The Internal Wall or Divider

In the preferred embodiment, the commercial packaging or bag includesone or more internal walls or dividers FIG. 4b which creates internalpockets. The preferred embodiment utilizes on internal wall to createsections, i.e. a first and a second pocket, and third layer that isuniquely laminated in-between to divide the two.

In other embodiment, two or more internal walls or dividers can create aplurality of internal pocket allowing a retailer to include multiple,separate products within one bag or package. For example, a beef jerkycompany may want to provide users with a bag containing differentflavored jerky while also maintaining the freshness of the product withthe desiccant. In this instance, multiple internal walls or dividerswould be preferred in order to create more than two internal pockets. Inother embodiments, more than one pocket may contain desiccant.

In the preferred embodiment, the internal wall or divider includes oneor more punctures or holes 4 b so as to facilitate the diffusion ofmoisture and/or internal gases between the two (or more) internalpockets. It should be appreciated that, in another embodiments, theinternal wall or divider may not contain punctures or holes. Thisembodiment may be preferred in instances when the internal products aresmall and therefore can slip through the punctures or when diffusionbetween the two internal pockets is less favorable. In anotherembodiment, the internal wall or divider may also be a “sandwich”consisting of a durable polymer sheet in which holes or punctures areformed with a light mesh-like material covering one or both sides of thepolymer sheet. In this embodiment, the punctures or holes in the durableplastic sheet allow for the diffusion of moisture and/or internal gasesbetween the two pockets while the mesh-like covering prevents thetransmission of the contents of the storage pocket or desiccant from themoisture-control pocket from one pocket to the other.

In the preferred embodiment, the internal wall (or walls) or divider (ordividers) (or mesh-like covering) is manufactured from a material withhigh gas permeability and water vapor transmission rates. For instance,polymers are permeable at different degrees to small molecules likegases, water vapor, and organic vapor and to other low molecular weightcompounds like aromas present in tobacco, herbs and cannabis, flavor,and additives present in food products. As a consequence of the barrierproperties of the material, the transfer of these molecules ranges fromhigh to low. The use of different polymers in the packaging industrydepends on the properties of the product. Also, manufacturing, handling,and packaging engineering procedures can influence the final propertiesof packaging material, especially in terms of barrier properties whichare, further, strictly correlated to the intrinsic structure of thepolymer such as degree of crystallinity, crystalline/amorphous phaseratio, nature of polymer, thermal and mechanical treatment before andafter food contact, chemical groups present into the polymer (polar ornot), degree of cross-linking, and glass transition temperature. Theselection of the best packaging material is a crucial point, because itneeds to be versatile enough to withstand handling process forcesmaintaining physical and chemical integrity and suitable for barrierproperties to several gases used in Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)techniques (e.g., O2, N2, CO2). Furthermore, the intrinsic compositionof the packed item (e.g., pH, fat content, aroma compound) may have aninfluence on the sorption characteristics of the packaging materials,while environmental factors like temperature and, for some polymers,relative humidity may affect their barrier characteristics. A lot ofpolymers present on the market are used in the packaging field, indirect contact or not with the package product:

(i) polyolefins, which include low-, linear low-, and high-densitypolyethylene (LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE), polypropylene (PP), and biaxiallyoriented polypropylene (BOPP);

(ii) copolymers of ethylene, like ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA),ethylene-vinyl alcohol (EVOH), and ethylene-acrylic acid (EAA);

(iii) substituted olefins, like polystyrene (PS), high-impactpolystyrene (HIPS, with 1,3-butadiene isomer added during thepolymerization of the PS), oriented polystyrene (OPS), poly(vinylalcohol) (PVOH), poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), and poly(vinylidenechloride) (PVdC), and poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE);

(iv) polyesters, like polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylenenaphthalate (PEN), and relative copolymer PET-PEN;

(v) polycarbonates (PC);

(vi) polyamide (PA);

(vii) acrylonitriles, like polyacrylonitrile (PAN) andacrylonitrile/styrene (ANS);

(viii) regenerated cellulose; and

(ix) polylactic acid (PLA) as biodegradable polymer for food packagingcontact.

These are the most common polymers used in the consumables/perishablescommercial packaging industry thanks to their general good performanceslike chemical and heat resistance, low, medium, and high gaspermeability and water vapor transmission rate, good abrasionresistance, good thermal and mechanical behavior, and so on.

Since contact with consumables may alter the polymer performances, it isimportant to study the barrier characteristics of the material underrealistic conditions. For example, the absorption of ambient vapor orliquid can cause an increase of polymer plasticization, resulting in adecrease in mechanical properties. The properties considered for theselection of the ideal polymer to be used as the internal wall ordivider are set forth in Siracusa, (2012), ‘Food Packaging PermeabilityBehaviour: A Report,’ Internat J Ploymer Sci, vol. 2012, no. 302029 (11pages), the content of which are incorporated in its entirety herein.The optimization behavior of packaging permeability is of crucialimportance, in order to extend the shelf-life and to reach the bestengineering solution. Studying the permeability characterization of thedifferent polymer material (homogeneous and heterogeneous polymersystem) to the different packaging gases, in different environmentalcondition, is crucial to understand if the selected material is adaptedto the chosen consumables contact field. Temperature and humidityparameters are of crucial importance for consumables qualitypreservation, especially in real life situations, like food markets, andhouse long-life use. It should be appreciated that the internal wall ordivider may be manufactured from a material other than a polymer, suchas leather, cotton and silicone.

The divider or internal wall or divider may be manufactured using 3Dprinting, injection molding, thermoforming, compression molding,rotational molding, vacuum casting, resin casting and combinationsthereof. The technique used to make the external walls may varydepending on the type of material used to make the external walls aswell as the desired quality and cost of the final product.

The Zipper

In the preferred embodiment, the bag includes of one zipper 1 b, 2 b and3 b located at the mouth 1 a, 2 a and 3 a which provides access to onlyone internal pocket. It should be appreciated that the bag can alsocomprise one zipper which provides access to more than one internalpocket and may also have a plurality of zippers at the mouth of the bagor no zippers at all. These alternative embodiments may be preferredwhere the user wants to have access to both internal pockets. In thepreferred embodiment, a heat sealing process is used to preventaccessibility to the second internal pocket which contributes to themanufacturing efficiency and safety of the bag. Heat sealing is theprocess of sealing one thermoplastic to another similar thermoplasticusing heat and pressure. The direct contact method of heat sealingutilizes a constantly heated die or sealing bar to apply heat to aspecific contact area or path to seal or weld the thermoplasticstogether. Any known method of creating a heat seal, including but notlimited to, hot bar sealers, direct contact thermal sealing, continuousheat sealers, band type heat sealers, impulse heat sealers, hot meltadhesives, induction sealing and/or induction welding heat sealing bynon-contact induction, may be employed. Good seals are a result of time,temperature and pressure for the correct clean material. Severalstandard test methods are available to measure the strength of heatseals. In addition, package testing is used to determine the ability ofcompleted packages to withstand specified pressure or vacuum. Severalmethods are available to determine the ability of a sealed package toretain its integrity, barrier characteristics, and sterility. Theefficacy of heat seals is often detailed in governing specifications,contracts, and regulations. Quality management systems sometimes ask forperiodic subjective evaluations: For example, some seals can beevaluated by a simple pull to determine the existence of a bond and themechanism of failure. With some plastic films, observation can beenhanced by using polarized light which highlights the birefringence ofthe heat seal. Some seals for sensitive products require thoroughverification and validation protocols that use quantitative testing.

It should also be appreciated that in the preferred embodiment, which isa bag, the mouth of the bag may also be comprised of an irreversibleseal between the internal wall or divider and both of the externalwalls. In this embodiment, the user will not have access to any of theinternal pockets from the mouth of the bag, however, the user may haveaccess to the internal pockets through one or more zippers located atthe base of the bag. In this embodiment, the bag is essentially the samesince the upper and lower end of the bag although defined can beinterchangeable conceptually. For example, if the zipper is moved fromthe mouth of the bag to the base of the bag, the user can essentiallyflip the bag and have the bag function the same as the preferredembodiment. It should be further appreciated, however, that the bag cancontain a zipper on both the mouth and base or incorporated into one ormore of the external walls providing users with access to the internalpocket through both sides of the bag or providing a user with access tocertain internal pockets from the mouth of the bag and to other pocketsfrom the base of the bag.

In the preferred embodiment, the sides of the bag are irreversiblysealed FIG. 1e . It should be appreciated that the side of the bag couldcontain a zipper providing users with access the internal pocket fromthe side of the bag. This embodiment may be preferred where the storedproduct is too large to fit through the top of the bag and therefore theuser needs access to the internal pocket through a region with greaterspace since the preferred embodiment has a mouth and base that areshorter in length than the sides of the bag.

In the preferred embodiment, the mouth 1 a, 2 a, and 3 a and base 1 f, 2c and 4 of the bag are shorter in length than the sides of the bag. Itshould be appreciated that the lengths of all for sides of the bag canbe adjusted in order to define the shape of the bag.

In the preferred embodiment, the functionality of the zipper relies onthe projecting structures extending across the entire width of the bag.These projections are substantially planar and outward facing andtherefore the application of an external force interlocks thecooperating coupling structures creating a closed bag. The projectionscan subsequently be uncoupled when a user physically pulls theinterlocking structure apart, however, this preferred embodiment has achild proof zipper requiring the user to pull and slide the zippersimultaneously in order to open the bag.

In another embodiment, the zipper further includes a tamper evidentpress and seal zipper 2 b. It should be appreciated that the zipper maybe a traditional press and seal zipper, such as those found in storagebags sold under the Ziploc® trademark (S. C. Johnson & Son, Racine,Wis.) or selected from a group consisting of, but not limited to, astring zipper, flange zipper, ribbed zipper, double zipper, tamper-proofzipper, slider zipper, particle plow slider, mini slider andcombinations thereof.

The zipper may be manufactured from a thermoplastic. It should beappreciated that the zipper can also be made from various materialsselected from the group consisting of thermoplastic polymers, polyester,nylon, zinc, brass, aluminum, nickel, nickel-silver alloy, stainlesssteel and combinations thereof. This alternative may be preferred wherethe bag is leather, wool or any additional materials where a plasticzipper is not preferred.

The zipper may be manufactured using various processes known in the art,such as a process selected from a group consisting of but not limited to3D printing, injection molding, thermoforming, compression molding,rotational molding, vacuum casting, resin casting, and combinationsthereof. The technique used to make the zipper may vary depending on thetype of material used to make the zipper as well as the desired qualityand cost of the final product.
